I am currently in a relationship with my boyfriend but I don't think I love him anymore. I do really care about him but more and more I find myself wishing I were single. I feel I'm not being fair to myself, as I can't picture myself with him in the long term. What should I do?

Dear Out of Love,
If you don't love him anymore then definitely let him go. If you're finding that you're wanting to be with your friends more so than spending time with your boyfriend, then again, perhaps this particular relationship is not the ideal situation for you. You need to find the strength and the courage to say to him, I don't love you anymore, or this isn't working out or this is not for me. Tell your boyfriend you need a break to sort out your feelings for him, or if you strongly feel that your feelings towards him won't change from the way you're feeling now, break the relationship off all together. Remember though, that the most important thing to keep in mind is to tell him the truth. Try to put yourself in his shoes and think for a moment, what you might be feeling if you were in his situation? Your approach towards him should be as diplomatic but as honest as possible. Breaking up is never easy, but the best breaks are those that are clean and honest. Don't lead your boyfriend on any longer than is necessary, as the longer your relationship progresses, the harder it will be for the both of you to cope with. In the event that you do decide to break up with your boyfriend, there is no denying that he will be hurt, but life is full of pain unfortunately and that is plain reality. He will eventually get over it and so will you, besides there is that age-old cliché that there are plenty more fish in the sea.
